  View original topic: Beetle Cabrio Rear Hood Hinge Covers
Tony Blythe Fri Aug 24, 2018 12:48 am

I'm aware that there are a number of suppliers for the rear hood hinge covers for the Beetle Cabrio. These appear to be different in design (and VW part number) dependent on model year. I've got a '63 car which originally would have had hood covers made of wood & covered with head liner material.

Some of these suppliers offer a replacement made of wood, others plastic, but I want to know how they should be fixed to the car & so far I've have drawn a blank; does anyone out there know how they should be fitted ? Thanks.

Original covers were made of wood, then covered with same material as headliner. They are attached to the body via sheet metal screws
